Shaving With Thomas Shelby's Signature Scent

Step into the world of early 20th-century Birmingham with **Thomas Shelby's Signature Scent** from **Wet The Face**. Inspired by the timeless style, confidence, and quiet strength of one of television's most iconic characters, this shave is all about class, sophistication, and unmistakable masculinity.

The fragrance opens with bright notes of **lavender and clary sage**, creating a clean yet intriguing introduction. As the lather builds, rich **bitter almond, vanilla, and supple leather** emerge, adding warmth and depth. The scent finishes with smooth **tonka bean, cashmeran, amber, white woods, and luxurious leather accords**, leaving behind a bold, refined character that feels both modern and timeless.

Shaving With Don's Vetiver

Today, I am utilizing Don’s Vetiver, formerly known as Grey’s Vetiver, which Google has requested me to modify. I have no objections to this change. However, I have accumulated numerous labels bearing the previous name, and I intend to utilize them all before printing the new ones. Nevertheless, the website prominently displays the updated name.

This shaving soap is also available in a tallow version, which has garnered positive feedback from customers. Notably, several of its top-selling products are in the tallow formulation and have received exceptional reviews.

The scent I have been told is spot on, but of course, everyone's sense of smell is different. The reviews have always been on the positive side. The shave today went very well. I bowl lathered, which resulted in a wonderful lather. This was applied with my WTF brush, and it provided amazing coverage. The slickness and glide were above board, allowing for an irritation-free shave. The post-shave feel was fantastic as well.

Shaving With ARKO

Today, I use what some Wet Shavers treat as the holy grail of shaving products, I'm speaking of the Arko Shaving Stick, the original. One can say this has its own cult following, and until recently, I never thought I would say this, but I'm starting to ask for the Kool-Aid.

I was not one for the scent at all. In fact, when I first used this product, I wanted to make a video but couldn't get past it, and I waited a year to finally set that aside and give it another try.

Not having used a stick before, I applied it incorrectly and was quickly made aware of this faux pas. The next time I used it, I was ready to make things right and followed the steps given to me for a perfect shave with Arko.

Now that I have used the Arko stick many times, I no longer think the scent is terrible; in fact, I kind of like it now, which I absolutely thought would never happen.

Price and performance are what make this one so attractive. What you get for the money can't be beat. The slickness and glide are just as good as those of other sticks. Maybe it's the tallow, I'm not sure, but if you've never tried this one before, go online and order one, you will be surprised, I guarantee it.

Shaving With Speick

 In the world of traditional wet shaving, certain products achieve legendary status—not through flashy advertising or elaborate packaging, but through decades of proven performance. One such product is the Speick Shaving Stick, a humble yet highly respected shaving soap that has earned a loyal following among wet shavers worldwide.

A Company Rooted in Nature Since 1928

The story of Speick begins in Germany in 1928, when founder Walter Rau created a company centered around a unique Alpine plant known as Speick (Valeriana celtica). This rare plant grows high in the Austrian Alps and has long been valued for its calming and balancing properties.

To this day, Speick remains committed to sustainable harvesting practices, ensuring that this rare Alpine treasure is protected for future generations while continuing to play a role in the company's products.

The Speick Shaving Stick

The Speick Shaving Stick is a traditional 50g shaving soap stick designed primarily for face lathering. Simply wet your beard, rub the stick directly onto the face, and build a rich lather with your favorite shaving brush.

Despite its modest appearance, the Speick stick has developed a near-cult following among wet shaving enthusiasts for several reasons:

• Rich, creamy lather with minimal effort
• Excellent slickness and protection
• Comfortable post-shave feel
• Compact and travel-friendly design
• Outstanding value for the price

Many wet shavers believe the Speick stick performs on par with soaps costing several times more, making it one of the best values in traditional wet shaving.

Shaving With Clubman Pinaud

Today I'm using ClubMan Pinaud. Clubman products have been around since 1810, and they show no signs of stopping. Thank goodness, because they are relatively inexpensive. which makes it perfect for the first-time wet shaver.

You can get a shaving soap, aftershave, Lotions, Reserves, shaving oil, shaving cream, and even a brush if you don't have one. Which is perfect for your first starter brush. After looking around the website, I found two that I didn't know about: Brilliantine for the hair, which is a new one for me, but I'm sure it's been around for a while. Also, Barber Spray's for that longer-lasting scent that carries through the day.

Shaving With Proraso Red

Today, I use what every wet shaver should have in their den, I'm talking about Proraso. Pick a scent that you like and make a purchase, you can thank me later.

Founded in Florence, Italy, in 1926, Proraso has become one of the most respected names in traditional wet shaving. For nearly a century, the company has produced quality shaving products that combine classic Italian craftsmanship with dependable performance. Their products are found in barbershops and shave dens around the world and are known for offering excellent value without sacrificing quality.

Proraso Red, recognizable by its distinctive red tub, is specifically designed for men with thick, coarse beards and dry skin. Enriched with Shea Butter and Sandalwood Oil, this soft shaving soap creates a rich, creamy lather that helps soften stubborn whiskers while providing excellent cushion and glide for a comfortable shave. The warm, masculine sandalwood fragrance is one of the most beloved scents in the Proraso lineup, offering a classic barbershop feel without being overpowering.

Shaving with eShave White Tea

If you are new to the company e-shave, I recommend trying the White Tea. An amazing scent on this one for me, and I have been chasing it ever since.

Light but not too light, it's just the right amount of everything.

This could not be any easier to load onto a brush, which is the method I used in the video. I just dipped a wet brush in and twisted it a few times, and this loaded the perfect amount, which created an amazing lather. The coverage was fantastic, and the slickness and glide were great. The post-shave feel was one for the books.

The eShave experience is one I think you will enjoy. If white Tea is not your thing, they have a few other scents in the product line: lavender, Almond, Verbena Lime, Orange Sandalwood, Floral, and fragrance-free.

When it comes to aftershaves, they don't have the traditional splash but offer what they call an Aftershave smoother, which, as far as I can see, is an aftershave balm. I've never used one before, so I can't comment on its effectiveness.
